What is assistive technology?
Assistive technology (AT) includes equipment, devices, and technology that help NDIS participants perform tasks they would otherwise be unable to do, or do them more easily and safely. This ranges from simple items like shower chairs and communication boards to complex powered wheelchairs, vehicle modifications, home automation systems, and specialised computer access equipment.
